How's Adelaide

She is great! 
Her eating has not slowed though her gums are stretched and teeth are coming in. Her top two back/molars have broke through and a bottom one has too. I felt her gums and it feels like more are coming. (Current total of 6 on top, 3 on bottom.) She giggled, so I guess it tickled or felt odd more than sensitive or sore. I'm glad. She is stuffy/runny nose but otherwise pretty regular... Best teether ever :)
Other than that she's been increasing her awareness and wanting to help. She assists with the dishes - handing me the clean silverware and dishes from the dishwasher. It's pretty nice not to have to bend over as much, especially with #3 growing! Adelaide also throws tissues and food items away, but also recycles. Gets it right almost every time (haha, we are working on not recycling her yogurt spoon in the morning).
One more thing she is learning to brush her teeth. She keeps her toothbrush in her mouth a good while and is able to move it around. At the end I still help her brush her teeth and gums to ensure some cleaning happens.
Adelaide rubs and kisses my belly but mostly climbs me and uses it as a cushion. I remind her to be gentle, but still working on that. On the other hand when she sees babies she moves slower and is quieter... Seems to calm down and show a gentler side. Adelaide will learn and join Guin in the great big sister club, I'm sure! :)

  1. Adelaide is such a champ, she is one of the best teethers I've seen yet! She can really be a helper with trash, we just got to teach her to clean up after herself and we'll be ahead of the game... I think Adelaide is going to be a great big sister,when with those littler then her she shows such a soft side...
